I'm Piers Henwood and this is my home for writing about my life and work in the music industry, both as an executive and a creator.

I’m a co-founder at Amelia Artists and Amelia Recordings, where I serve musicians in building lasting creative legacies.

Together with our artists and partners, I've overseen and directed campaigns that have resulted in over 1.5 million albums sold in the pre-streaming era, hundreds of millions of track streams, seven Gold certifications, fifteen JUNO Award nominations with four wins, a Grammy nomination, an Academy Awards nomination, and a New York Times Best Seller.

I got into the music industry 20 years ago by managing my first band Jets Overhead. I’ve had the rare experience of standing on stage at major festivals such as Coachella and Bonnaroo as both a musician and a manager. My perspective on creativity and the industry comes from merging these paths.

I believe in lifelong creativity – I still love playing guitar and piano in the studio with Astrocolor, and this year I'm releasing an album of love songs that I wrote to propose to my wife.

I hope you enjoy my essays and musings below!
